1. Very Good. Spout is stuck in place, we presume the lip is fine. Some dust and grime. Just one or two fine flakes to the ribs. A fisheye or two to be found as well. Some scratches and minor marks. Should clean well to be a very nice example of this syphon. 2. Good. Interesting bottle with the three separate companies having used it, actually in good condition considering the obvious extensive use it must have had. This is not the only example that bears these three company names. Top comes off easily, no damage to lip, there is no inner tube on this one. Hazy internally. Texta on neck says either $50 or $150. Base edge has a chipped flake and a section of deep wear. A few other little flakes and marks to the base as well. A few impact marks. Scattered scuffs and scratches from extensive use by three companies over the years. Some fisheyes and impact marks. A decent example of an unusual multiple use bottle. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
